From Harlan Crow, Clarence Thomas accepted 38 vacations, 26 private jet flights, a dozen VIP passes to sporting events, rooms at luxury resorts and his nephew's tuition payments. Crow then bought the property Clarence's mother lived on. Clarence reported NONE of it.

Clarence stated this week that he's the target of lies?
Nobody is lying except Clarence.

The film the Trump Organization tried to suppress | You've Been Trumped Too (2020) | Full Film.
Investigative journalist Anthony Baxter travels between the US Presidential race and the Scottish countryside to chronicle the troubling confrontation between Donald Trump and a feisty 92-year-old widow, Molly Forbes, as she refuses to make way for his golf course.

why does Moscow Marge care about Hungarians in Transcarpathia? because Putin does, too.
so, when you’ve turned Fox News against you, what do you do for an encore? well, if you’re Marjorie Three Brain Cells Greene, you start spouting Russian propaganda ahead of a vote to restore aid to Ukraine.

I mean that literally — Three Toes is now nattering on about Transcarpathia.

Trump’s covid response was even worse than you remember
In a sane country, it would disqualify him from ever again holding office.

By May 2020, US job losses were the highest since the Great Depression, and then there were the irrecoverable losses: The tally of covid deaths in the US for that year ended up being 350,831, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 900,000 covid hospitalizations occurred through November 2020.

No, it isn't Trudeau's fault. PoiLIEvre is lying to you. It's capitalist and corporate greed that's making things too expensive. Change the system, rein in the CEO pay and bonuses, pay workers fairly, and tax the f*cking rich properly.
